New summer hair!

I had my hair done last night by the lovely Lucy at Thrixx Salon, she has been doing my hair for years now and does a great job. Plus, we get a long really well so it's always fun catching up, we always have a ton to talk about!

When I arrived I didn't really know what I wanted, which is so unlike me. Usually before a hair appt I spend lots of time going through pics etc until I find a cut/colour that I really like. This time I had decided to keep the cut I had(it's a great cut that really works for me, plus I want to grow my hair out), but I was really waffling between dark burgundy highlights or lots of blondish ones for summer. In the end the summery ones won out and this is what I ended up with...super happy with it. :)

Made a delicious dinner tonight! So good, and I can't believe it was fairly low calorie. I am getting addicted to the Skinnytaste website, so many great and really yummy ideas!

Tonight was Sweet and Fiery Pork Tenderloin with Mango Salsa. I didn't add any sriracha because quite frankly I don't know what that is and I was worried it would be too spicy which wouldn't go over well with the kids. I did end up cutting a bit of the outside off of the tenderloin off when I gave it to the littles just to make sure it wouldn't be too much for them with the sweet chili sauce. I left Ella with a little but I don't want to do anything to discourage Marshall from eating. As I side I made: Brown Coconut Rice with Cilantro, again a total hit. I used jasmine rice(love!) instead of brown rice. BOTH kids ate everything right up tonight so it's a definite "make again". We finished everything off with some strawberries for dessert.
